Re: rebuilding a car newb HELP
Wow, that's such a general question. Old car or recent car? FWD or RWD? Truck or car? where do you live... smog land or no smog?
Gotta give us lots of stuff, like; Hi, I'm Curtis, I'm 31 years old and I like red cars with rear wheel drive. I don't want to have to pass smog, and I have $500 to spend. Hmmm... come to think of it, that's all true for me, except the $500. Maybe $50

Re: rebuilding a car newb HELP
Some advice:
1. Try taking some auto shop classes at a local high school. There might be evening or summer courses offered. 2. Go to howstuffworks.com and read, read, read, 3. Get some basic auto shop high school textbooks from the library and read, read, read. 4. Get some friends who are into cars and help them with their projects. For a bit of help, I am sure they can show you how to do a few things. 5. Get an old car project of your own. The more simple the better. Older trucks are easier to work on than cars, generally. Then just try a few things. The truck doesn't even have to run, if you are just looking to learn. . Find one for $100 and just start working on it.
